Making of the Constitution

Subject: Polity

Book: Indian Polity by M. Laxmikanth

Focuses on the Constituent Assembly established under the Cabinet Mission Plan of 1946. It highlights the Assembly’s diverse composition—lawyers, freedom fighters, social workers—led by Dr. Rajendra Prasad as Chair and Dr. B.R. Ambedkar as Chairman of the Drafting Committee. The drafting process involved extensive debates, public inputs, and multiple readings before adoption. Despite Partition, the Assembly continued its work, culminating in the Constitution’s signing on November 26, 1949, and enforcement on January 26, 1950. Notable contributions include Jawaharlal Nehru’s Objectives Resolution and Ambedkar’s emphasis on social justice. This topic reveals the broad consensus-building process, ensuring the Constitution reflected India’s socio-cultural diversity and aspirations.
